Kalvin Phillips struggled at Manchester City after Leeds United exit
Txiki Begiristain, the director of football at City, expressed his happiness at signing Phillips and called him “a formidable talent” who “has proved his fantastic ability and quality over the past few seasons.”
However, things did not turn out well for Phillips at City. Yes, he won major trophies at the Etihad Stadium, including the UEFA Champions League, but I am sure that the Citizens would have won them without the 28-year-old.
Phillips made two starts in the Premier League and three substitute appearances in the UEFA Champions League for City last season.
Kalvin Phillips sent off for West Ham United
Phillips handed away a goal with his first touch in his West Ham debut against Bournemouth. One of the goals scored by Manchester United was also the midfielder’s fault.
And for the midfield player, things only got worse on Saturday at the City Ground against Nottingham Forest.
After pushing Nicolas Dominguez, Phillips received a yellow card, and a few minutes later, a second warning.
Jamie O’Hara, a former Tottenham Hotspur player, stated on talkSPORT at 5:17 p.m. on February 17, 2024, that “He can’t go to the Euros.” He was dismissed today because he appears to be unfit and is moving far too slowly. Foolish. He mistimed tackles since he hasn’t been playing and is rusty, earning two yellow cards.
He’s completely off. He is currently unable to attend the Euros. He went there to start playing, but in reality, he’s aggravating West Ham.”
At the age of 28, Phillips ought to be at the peak of his game. I’m hoping he gets back to form quickly. Seeing the former Leeds player struggle so much after leaving Elland Road is quite depressing.
